  2. MIPS architecture processors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIPS_architecture_processors

    In the early 1990s, MIPS began to license their designs to third-party vendors. This proved fairly successful due to the simplicity of the core, which allowed it to have many uses that would have formerly used much less able complex instruction set computer (CISC) designs of similar gate count and price; the two are strongly related: the price of a CPU is generally related to the number of ...

  3. R2000 microprocessor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R2000_microprocessor

    MIPS was a fabless semiconductor company, that is, they did not have the capability to fabricate integrated circuits. The chip set was initially fabricated for MIPS by Sierra Semiconductor and Toshiba. In December 1987, MIPS licensed Integrated Device Technology, LSI Logic, and Performance Semiconductor to also fabricate and market the R2000 ...

  4. Stanford MIPS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_MIPS

    MIPS, an acronym for Microprocessor without Interlocked Pipeline Stages, was a research project conducted by John L. Hennessy at Stanford University between 1981 and 1984. . MIPS investigated a type of instruction set architecture (ISA) now called reduced instruction set computer (RISC), its implementation as a microprocessor with very large scale integration (VLSI) semiconductor technology ...

    MIPS Computer Systems Inc. was founded in 1984 [11] by a group of researchers from Stanford University including John L. Hennessy and Chris Rowen.These researchers had worked on a project called MIPS (for Microprocessor without Interlocked Pipeline Stages), one of the projects that pioneered the RISC concept.

  6. MIPS architecture - Wikipedia

    [11] [failed verification] When MIPS II was introduced, MIPS was renamed MIPS I to distinguish it from the new version. [3]: 32 MIPS Computer Systems' R6000 microprocessor (1989) was the first MIPS II implementation. [3]: 8 Designed for servers, the R6000 was fabricated and sold by Bipolar Integrated Technology, but was a commercial failure.

  7. Comparison of instruction set architectures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_instruction...

    An instruction set architecture (ISA) is an abstract model of a computer, also referred to as computer architecture.A realization of an ISA is called an implementation.An ISA permits multiple implementations that may vary in performance, physical size, and monetary cost (among other things); because the ISA serves as the interface between software and hardware.

  9. MIPS-X - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIPS-X

    MIPS-X, while designed by the same team and architecturally very similar, is instruction-set incompatible with the mainline MIPS architecture R-series processors. The MIPS-X processor introduced the concept of a delayed branch, which includes two delay slots. [1] An MIPS-X processor also includes a Processor Status Word (PSW) register.
